Fuel tank Range??

[BradleyT]

Can anyone give me an idea of what distance they are getting on a tank of fuel for a Kymco Xciting 500?  I am getting to 135kms and the tank is showing alomost empty.  I am a bit nervous to test maximum distance.....

I haven't checked mine but the tank holds 3.3 gallons.  How much is it taking when you fill up?

Figure your average fuel milage and leave 1/2 gallon reserve. I gradually went from filling up at 110miles to between 130-140 miles. Usually takes between 2.7 & 3.0 gallons. I don't know why, but at about the two year mark, my fuel guage started getting more accurate. Originally the guage would show empty at about 80 miles, the light would come on about 100 miles. Now the guage gets to empty about 110 and the light comes on about the same. Also fuel milage average went from around 43 to 48 at about the same time which partially explains the guage, otherwise beats me. Mine is an '07 carb. model.

The fuel gauge is nearly unusable. That's my Xciting (carb. too):

I don't bother driving 200km on 1 tank filling and I am still in save distance of the 12.8 litres capacity. Light shows up with about 3 litres left.

Mine is injected and I get 51 miles to the gallon.  The light comes on at around 125 mines or so and when I fill up it is 134 miles and is around 2.7 gallons to fill

not that I have been watching it this summer or anything 

ohhh and I last I looked it had almost 2300 miles on it

I see in the manual that tank holds 12,8 litres, but when I fill up, only 8-9 litres are put in the tank - but the fuel guage is almost empty.  Just nervous to be caught without fuel...

My gauge does exactly the same thing.  It's never taken more than 2 gallons even when showing near empty.  Ha!

My mileage records at Fuelly:

I watched the gas gauge closely for a few months. It looks like the half mark is more like just under 1/3 (full).

It looks like I put in 2.7-ish gallons if the reserve light comes on and I fill up fairly quickly. I guess I have around 20 miles to go once the reserve light comes on.
